A behind-the-scenes look at how we brought branded photo booth fun to one of the most exciting food service events of the season in Ocean City, Maryland
A Branded Event
June 15, 2025
We recently had the incredible opportunity to be part of the Wagner Food Culinary Carnival Spring Show at the Roland E Powell Convention Center in Ocean City, MD.—and wow, what a day! Hosted by Wagner Foodservice, this spring show brought together the best in the industry: over 650 attendees, including restaurant and bar owners, chefs, and hospitality managers from all over the region, came to discover the latest trends and food innovations for 2025.
And let us tell you—the energy was electric. The moment you walked into the convention center, you were transported to a full-blown culinary carnival. Every vendor pulled out all the stops with whimsical, over-the-top setups inspired by classic carnival fun—think striped tents, popcorn machines, bold colors, and creative displays that showcased their newest food and beverage offerings.
Wagner Foodservice Took Center Stage
As Amanda Partin the host of this dynamic event, Wagner Foodservice made sure every detail delivered a memorable experience, and we were proud to support their vision by bringing our custom branded photo booth Experience to life.
We designed a custom step-and-repeat backdrop featuring the Wagner Food logo to create a polished, professional photo opportunity for guests. Our team also created a branded photo booth wrap and a custom photo template, ensuring that every print and digital image shared from the event represented the Wagner brand perfectly.
The photo booth was more than just a fun attraction—it became a connection point. Attendees lined up to strike a pose with our realistic food props (yes, we had oversized hot dogs, ice cream cones, and burgers!), which tied in beautifully with the culinary carnival theme. We even added custom signage to match the event branding and theme, giving guests a cohesive, immersive experience.
Carnival Fun Meets Culinary Excellence
From the moment the doors opened, the event buzzed with excitement. Everywhere you looked, vendors embraced the carnival concept with colorful displays, engaging games, and, of course, mouth-watering samples. It wasn’t just a food show—it was a sensory experience.
Some vendors set up mini-ring toss and dart games at their booths, offering playful prizes and swag. Others wowed the crowd with creative plating, new flavor combinations, and visually stunning presentations. Whether you were sampling gourmet sliders, sipping on craft cocktail mixers, or testing out the latest in plant-based cuisine, the quality and innovation on display were top-tier.
And we were thrilled to see our booth become part of that energy. It was a hotspot for selfies, team group shots, and plenty of laughter. The interactive photo booth experience brought a little extra joy to everyone’s day—and gave them something tangible (and Instagrammable!) to take home and share
